Experiences with

Accidents

Some weeks he will go all week with no accidents, other weeks he will have several accidents, sometimes 3+ a day. He often wets himself at school and will not tell anyone so it just dries on him and I notice at pick up the very strong smell. Everytime he seems to do progress he soon regresses.

I have been afraid to go out as I have had a few accidents it’s so upsetting. It’s not diarrhoea but I just can’t hold on. Has anyone beaten this and can give me some advice I feel so anxious about it and it’s affecting my quality of life. Thank you.

I want to be fit, protect myself against old age and poor mobility, but all my accidents, struggles to recover, then re injury is taking its toll. Ido Pilates and gym work to try and get a balance of benefits. Feeling quite depressed at the prospect. Any wise words of wisdom?

I spoke to the nurse at school and warned her about possible future accidents. His doctor has never found anything wrong with him in the past. What is the best way I can help my son?

My daughter is 9 and for the past few years seems to have gone backwards and is having more accidents than ever. It started by her wetting the bed occasionally to this being every night.

And if/when I end up with an ileostomy, I'm very worried about the suddenness and consistency of the stoma discharge., which will be virtually liquid, I cannot move quickly enough to get to a toilet in time to avoid accidents.

She is having accidents 16 times minimum a day. The constant liquid stool has been happening for as long as we can remember and she hasn’t passed a ‘typical’ stool since September 2022. We are at a loss as to what to do!

If you catch him he will do it on the toilet but it’s like he just stops pushing and because of this he can do lots of little poos and have accidents. I’ve taken him to GP about constipation he doesn’t think it’s that just withholding.

I have had several accidents, unable to access rest room quick enough. I am particularly concerned about my fecal accidents. I amd now 10 months out from the EBRT. Docs are saying system should slowly return to normal in about 75% of the cases.

Daytime pee accidents are rarer but he occasionally has those too. But this is new - in the past month, he’s had three poop accidents during the night. I can’t really think of anything that has changed in the past month other than that he started Lexapro (2.5mg). Have others dealt with this?

Would help incase of accidents and make people around sufferers aware. Could raise money and awareness?

https://www.avma.org.uk/ I think AvMA 's definition of medical accidents include those who've been affected by delayed or inadequate treatment.

I saw the doctor who gave me a fit test which came back “normal no action to be taken” so now I don’t know what to do or think I have had a couple of accidents while out and now I’m so scared to go very far it’s so upsetting I don’t know what to try next.

I have joined a gym recently as I want to commit to losing weight and tried couch to 5 k previously out of doors and had several accidents which deterred me. I am over 70 but am mentally active and enjoy work .

After a year he started having accidents, urine tests came back negative for any infections. At first the accidents were sporadic then they became worse and worse. By the time he was leaving preschool he could have 4-8 accidents a day. Only ever wee. He's never had a poo accident.

Hi there, My 6 year old son did disimpaction over the Christmas holidays, and we've had nearly 3 weeks of following a toilet sit plan and no accidents. He had an accident on Monday, and one today. (Type 4 poos on the toilet in between).

Hi, My 7 year old daughter has recently been prescribed movicol to help with constipation and overflow which has been causing her to have accidents. For the last week she has been on 3 sachets a day and in the last few days has been soiling herself numerous times a day.

We have done behavior charts and earning large rewards for no accidents. Anyone else struggle with this with their ADHD kid and have suggestions. We are currently seeing a counselor but it does not seem to want to talk about it and gets very defensive. Thanks for the support.
